To All Indians Celebrities, When a person is presented a Award it is a great achievement for him/her. When there are multiple people helping or taking part for the same job then it is a different story. In scientific personalities mostly the award is achieved for their self work, by one or at the most three persons than the award is felt that was worth it. Here for Wendell Rodrigues it is a number of people who took part along with him in the industry. Perhaps some way or other in the award should have been listed their names, so that they too becomes proud of the work done by them, and I feel in the future this kind of Awards needs to be blessed or presented for all the participants names inscript( entered) into it.. Otherwise a person gets the Award sometimes without doing 100% of the work is not a great achievement.. Cherios to Wendell ( For Goans)
